ok i took the throttle body off to change plug wires and now i have a problem. when i start the car it revs to wide open throttle. and then i have to shut the car off. checked everything twice to make sure everything was put back. any ideas? and one more thing is that now the RPM needle with the car off rests on the opposite side of the guage at like 9000RPM

Maybe you snagged the throttle or cruise control cable in the process? Maybe there is a huge vac leak now?

As for the tach... I dunno. I've never seen that happen.

sounds like the linkage is caught for the throttle. do the throttle plates come back to rest at ful close? check free travel of the cable.

as for the tach... idk problem with the cluster
